The inner west has the most this weekend with 128. The south has 107 and the city and east 103. There will be 99 on the upper north shore; 71 in Canterbury Bankstown and 66 in the west.

At a suburb level, Ashfield in the inner west has the most with 12 listed. This is followed by Paddington in the city and east with 10 and the number of suburbs with nine auctions scheduled includes Epping, Earlwood, Bexley and Chatswood.

The Sydney market continues to meet every challenge over autumn and remains on record breaking pace for the number of listings, the number of sales and naturally the value of property sold at autumn auctions.

Last weekend produced another strong result for the local market with a clearance rate of 81.5 per cent – remarkably the eighth consecutive weekend rate at or above 80 per cent this year.

The average weekend rate this year at 82.5 per cent is considerably higher than the 78.6 per cent averaged over the final eight weeks of last year’s spring-summer market and unsurprisingly well ahead of the 71.1 per cent averaged over the same eight weekends a year ago.
